    The typical feature that Frank inherited from his father that sets him apart as a northerner according to his maternal grandmother is- his Presbyterian standing-up hair. If your mother had married a proper decent Limerickman you wouldn’t have this standing up, North of Ireland Presbyterian hair. She spat twice on my hair. (p142) The way to make his standing-up hair to lie down was to use spit...further down you see him applying this lesson from his grandmother when he uses his spit and water to do this before he presented himself the first day for his job at the post office.
